Is there a Scribe in the House?

Sir Brian:
I have been attempting to blazon my CoA...


and I have found some helpful sights for the right terminology but I'm not sure
if I'm putting it in the correct sequence...So any suggestions or verification would
be most appreciated!

This is what I've come up with so far:

Quarterly Vert and Sable counterchanged, a griffin segreant to sinister Or,
a rose to dexter Argent, a rose to sinister Argent, a griffin segreant Or.

Sir Wolf:
i posted your question to some heralds on the AA. I'll post what they say for ya :)

Sir Brian:
Much obliged Sir Wolf!  :)

Sir Edward:

I know the SCA uses "quarterly" a lot, but I'm not sure what's more historically correct. "Per Cross" is the one I've seen more frequently. I'm not sure what the name is for the counterchanged colors along the edges of the division. It's possible the SCA guys sometimes do it the way you have it for the quarterly and counterchanged.

The griffins and roses don't need to be spelled out individually, and you don't have to say "to dexter" on that one griffin either because that is assumed.

If I took a stab at it, I might try something like:

Per Cross Vert and Sable, a Griffin seargant to Sinister and a griffin seargant Or, Two Roses Argent, a Cross Counterchanged.

Probably still wrong though.

Sir Brian:
hmm, that appears to be much closer than my clumsy attempt!

But should the cross be mentioned twice?

Would it be more appropriate if it was like this:
Per Cross Vert and Sable Counterchanged, a Griffin segreant to Sinister and a griffin segreant Or, Two Roses Argent?  :-\

(this stuff can make you dizzy real quick though!)  ;)
